Conflicts of interest are not avoided to relieve the person involved from some internal conflict. They are avoided to protect that person from unfair criticism and character questioning.
Knowing this situation, I would have thought very seriously about taking these games. Let's say he DIDN'T make that call at the end. He wouldn't be subjected to plenty of unfair character assasination, just because he missed a call. Thinking further, I would have turned the games down.
